Audio Horizons TP 2.0 Preamplifier
On initial listening when I first got my TP 2.0n, the highs were rolled off, the mids restricted, and the bass a little loose and light sounding. You'll gradually hear better and better improvements over the next few days. I have had mine for abou...

Stltrains, The tubes are a matter of personal taste in what sounds best in your system. I personally prefer the accuracy, neutrality and great upper extension of the Siemens CCa in my system, but you might prefer another brand for its personality ...

Btsrg, Please let me know how you like the pinched waists in the preamp. It's the only tube I don't have access to, but then, I could live happily ever after with these Siemens CCa. By the way, I have tried both a Transparent and Premium power cor...

Josh, I personally haven't had an opportunity to have a VTL 5.5 preamp in my system so I can't offer a comparison for you. My suggestion is that you ask the dealer to let you borrow a VTL 5.5 and listen to it in your system for a trial period. Aud...

Joe, I'm happy to see that you are so happy with your system that you're willing to wait until you're snowed in before you tweak your preamp anymore. I'm curious if anyone has tried the elusive Amperex pinched waist 6922 tubes. They are rare and e... 
Preamp Deal of the Century
You were fortunate Grant. That volume surge you experienced is the equivalent of having your volume knob turned all the way up.

Ouch, Grant! Did any of the speaker drivers get damaged?

Joe, I'm wondering what the Amperex PQ's in location 2 and 4 with the Siemens CCa in the more critical 1 and 3 locations would do for the sound.

Okay, then Sherod, why haven't you upgraded to the new 2.1n package? Well, as much as I'd like to( I might in the future) I am currently enjoying my 2.0n so much that the thought of having to carefully pack up my preamp, take it to fedex on the ot...

Well, Bill, I guess no one has yet upgraded to the new 2.1 from their 2.0. The upgrade consists of other things as well as the caps. In order to get Joseph's new caps, you have to buy the entire upgrade package. He won't sell the caps separately. ...

Welcome Stltrains, Here's hoping that the TP 2.1n will be a good synergistic match in your system. Have fun with the evaluation and please keep us posted these next couple of weeks on its progress. Don't forget to allow a good 72 hours to pre-burn...

Mark, I will tell you all the power cord brand and names in a little while. I need to get the full measure of these cords in my system before I make a final decision. So far, I'm very impressed. Maybe by week's end. Stay tuned. You know I can't ke...

Tell your wife how "Stupidgood" she looks today and she if she gets it.

Bill, if you knew Tvad like I think I know him, I'll be willing to bet that he's already cherry-picked a NOS pair of Siemens CCa to try in locations one and three. By the way, I'm currently beta-testing( so to speak) a new, unknown power cord line... 
Review: Ridge Street Audio Alethius Copper Speaker cable
Nice review. If you like the Quicksilver Gold after just initial listening, wait for another week or so until it breaks in and you'll be amazed just how much it gets better( that and the additional break-in of your cables as well). Enjoy your new ...
